Provides refreshing philosophical angles, that at times seem very modern, and at times seem quite alien, but that are allways interesting and educational. Definitely a book to browse through over a lifetime, rather than to consume in one go. ( ) no reviews | add a review
The Way of the Sufi presents an unparalleled cross-section of material from Sufi schools, teachings and classical writings, as a basic course of Sufi study. The author begins with the outward aspects of the teaching most likely to puzzle the student coming fresh to the subject. He considers various attitudes to Sufi ideas, and evidence of their absorption into medieval Christianity, Hinduism, Jewish mysticism and modern philosophical teachings. The greater part of the book illuminates aspects of Sufi activity and practice relevant to the contemporary world. No library descriptions found. |
